Milkman delivers

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 02:51 PM) My bad, I guess it was Milkman who said he was growing on him. All you haters are the same to me. I think LCR also said it.

I'll admit, and I think I might have in the past already, that Orton has been growing on me, too. It could just be for the lack of talent and heels in wrestling overall, but he's growing on me either way.

Ha, well maybe it's because she was out of the spotlight entirely after the show went off the air, whereas the Olsen twins kept maturing in front of our eyes. Perhaps that's a better way of putting it. And as someone on progressiveboink put it, Stephanie looked like she was given the Pedigree through the Spanish announcer table.

I saw Stephanie on tv a couple of years ago, and I told my friends that she ended up being the best looking one of the daughters from Full House. Nobody believed me, especially since she was the worst during the run of the show. Now you all see.

Where does Buehrle rank in terms of ERA for AL starters now? Also, I wasn't around yesterday, but I noticed that Cleveland fans cheered when one of their relievers almost hit Thome. What a bunch of assholes.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 18, 2007 -> 08:57 AM) Yea. The blueish one is the one I was looking for. Me too. I'm so used to the blue one that this black one, though good, is kinda throwing me off.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Jul 18, 2007 -> 11:14 AM) His is a great success story. I'm really glad for him that our bullpen has been so bad that he gets a shot, because I had him pegged as a career minor leaguer. Well, good for him and I hope he fares well. The Sox have already had quite a few career minor leaguers in the bullpen this year. I'm not sure what made you think he couldn't get a shot. After 5 appearances, his ERA should be around 6, I'd say.

Ha

Aww, I liked having the longest active thread on Soxtalk.

I heard that exact same "smove" story, except it was a guy calling 911 and the word was "smoothie" instead. Ha, perhaps we know the same person, CC. And Asshat, I hear you loud and clear.

And aren't Pujols and Howard like the same age? Pujols has over 250 homers, or something. Also, I hate when people jump on players like Howard and Fielder because they're getting blown by the media. Do people honestly think that fatass Fielder is gonna hold up over the long haul? Ha, not gonna happen. Pujols and A-rod will both have PLENTY more homers in their careers than those two.

This thing gets more boring every year. Also, funny thing I noticed. Of course, Joe Morgan picked a black player to win it. But, when the two African-American players were eliminated in the first round, I turned to my friend and said, "I guarantee he picks the blackest player now that Fielder and Howard are gone, so he'll pick Vlad." He's clockwork.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 01:46 AM) I think books are more personal in that you have to picture a lot of things for yourself. Sometimes people are dissapointed when things in a film don't match how they pictured them when they read the book and that causes them to say the book was better. By they way, watched 'Once' tonight. Good film, with very good music. It's probably 60% music, so it's basically a musical and you should be prepared for that going into it. I'm not a big reader, though I've had to read certain books back in high school that were also movies. I remember reading the Running Man and loving it (and seriously, I've never read a book in my life that I wasn't required to read). I hadn't seen the movie with Arnold until after I read the book. I couldn't even believe the difference between the two. The book was incredible and the movie was the worst possible depiction of it. Another example is Salem's Lot. Two Stephen King books, ha. QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 01:22 PM) One day you should pick up a movie version and book version of something Stephen King has done. Anything. Carrie, Cujo, Dreamcatcher, The Dark Half, The Langoliers, Thinner, etc. Compare Stephen King writes some pretty terrifying stuff, and it never seems to translate to the big screen I didnt realize you were a super nerd if you read a book Ha, I hadn't even read this post before I made my own.

QUOTE(maggliopipe @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) giddyup Hey, it's that ****er guy!

QUOTE(LDF @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 08:25 PM) yeah i remember the stuffing of the ballot..... that was a beauty.... there are a lot of stories that can be mentioned that a lot of the young posters woul find hard to believe in, like when we shut down the old espn site attack.... who was the lawyer guy that got the thing going with dago beef.... ahhh crap i feel like an old timer reliving stories. I've been here over two years, and I don't think I've ever seen a post of yours. Yet, you have over 4,000. What am I missing here?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:16 PM) I am as old as you! and I am not bitter at all. I really could care less, but if you look back on this thread I saw so many people swearing at sox management and the moderators letting everything go. Now management does what everyone seemed to have wanted. I just thought I would call it out. Quite frankly having buerhle on or off the team means nothing to me, like i have said before the team needs to be competitive and win. Right now they are not winning. You're 22? I apologize.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:07 PM) Let me say this there is no doubt garland goes now, along with Contraras, I am one that didn't really care if they signed buerhle and still don't but this means others will not get signed and will put a crimp in what we spend in the offseason. The payroll will stay the same as this year so again math needs to be done. Now for those who slammed JR and KW. For all the people swearing on the board and cussing at sox management please put some mustard on those crap sandwiches your about to eat. He gave you teenagers what you wanted, I hope a million dollars a win is good enough, and please try to get to the park more often to spend your macdonalds money OH AND MAKE SURE YOU STRAIGHTEN YOUR NAME TAGS. Wow, you are just a bitter, bitter old man, aren't you?

I swear, Mark Buehrle is just like you, me, or any other true baseball fan. He understands that he doesn't need to absolutely maximize the amount of money he gets, because no matter what, he's always going to have more than he'll ever need. He could've gotten almost twice as many years and millions upon millions of more money in free agency. But, he chose to stay where he's spent all of his career because he's loyal and he's happy here. Thank you, Mark. You definitely are one of the best people in baseball, hands down.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 11:52 AM) A year ago was our epic 19 inning game vs. Boston. I thought that was 18.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 09:45 PM) Please fire Kennith Williams... he is back to arrogant and stupid ways. I thought maybe after 05 that hey, maybe he has finally learned from his mistakes as a GM and knows what he is doing... But now I know that was false and he is still the same GM he was 6-7 years ago. Exactly the word I would use to describe KW and the entire organization. Ever since they won the WS, they've acted like every move they made is the perfect one and that it's not even debatable.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 04:05 PM) It just makes me sick to think we probably wont be seeing any more of this for the next 4 years because KW wont give in to 18 months of a NTC...i really hope someone rips him a new one at SoxFest next year Wait, it's only 18 months?

The way the dugout reacted after Buehrle came out (especially Ozzie), makes me think he's definitely gone.

Why is it that Buehrle went years without getting much media love, and now that he's about to be traded, he's one of the greatest lefties in recent times?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) Dye has flulike symptoms. Really? That pisses me off. I thought he was traded.
